Ingredients

• 16 oz Gluten-free spaghetti
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 lb Ground beef (or ground turkey for a lighter option)
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium Carrot, finely diced
• 1 stalk Celery stalk, finely diced
• 28 oz Canned crushed tomatoes
• 2 tbsp Tomato paste
• 1 cup Beef broth (ensure it’s gluten-free)
• 0.5 cup Red wine (optional, ensure it’s gluten-free)
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• 1 tsp Dried basil
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (optional for garnish, ensure it’s gluten-free)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gluten-free spaghetti according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion, minced garlic, diced carrot, and diced celery. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, about 7-10 minutes.

Step 5

Drain any excess fat from the skillet, if necessary.

Step 6

Stir in the tomato paste, and cook for 1-2 minutes to deepen the flavor.

Step 7

Pour in the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, and red wine (if using). Stir well to combine.

Step 8

Season the sauce with dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer gently for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of extra beef broth or water.

Step 10

Serve the sauce over the cooked gluten-free spaghetti. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
